Stop Belittling the Theories About September 11

A very interesting critique of this article has been published at 911Review.com: CIA Alum Endorses No-Plane Theories
Critique of Bill Christison's
'Stop Belittling the Theories About September 11'

The author of this essay pulished in DISSIDENT VOICE, Bill Christison, is a former senior official of the CIA (which means that his essay was probably vetted by the CIA). Now Christison wants to give three cheers to "Webster Tarpley and other mistakenly labeled conspiracists." But wait a minute, if 9/11 was a domestic covert operation as most alternative theories imply, why is a former senior official from the agency that specializes in covert operations telling us to take those theories seriously? Has the leadership at the CIA seen the light? Should we expect to see new whistleblowers turning up in the CIA, and maybe even some indictments of insiders, given the newfound acceptance of 9/11 Truth in official circles?

I'll call the idea that Christison genuinely wants to expose the cover-up the Strange Bedfellows Theory, and I'll leave its exploration to those who are uncritically promoting his essay. Here I'll explore a different theory: that Christison's essay is designed to undermine the work of serious independent investigators, primarily by promoting false claims and pairing them with real ones. I'll call it the Trojan Horse Theory.

If the Trojan Horse Theory is correct, then the essay may be a study in the use of disinformation. In the following review, I assume that the hatchet job Christison does on the case for official complicity is the result of applying a series of disinformation rules, perhaps from some rulebook published by Christison's former employer.

However horrendous the crimes of two of the world's great liars and terrorists in Gaza and Lebanon, it is imperative that we not let the deeds of Ehud Olmert and George W. Bush distract us from another recent event.

The U.S. alliance with Israel and the power of the lobby that lets Israel so easily influence U.S. foreign policy have been major factors in allowing the monstrous slaughter of innocent civilians in Gaza and Lebanon. What is happening in these lands may also encourage Olmert and Bush to start new hostilities in Syria and heavy, possibly nuclear, bombings in Iran -- and this entire mess of neocon pottage may lead to a new World War and clashes of civilizations and religious fundamentalisms that these two wretched politicians seem quite literally to want to impose on the rest of us. It's a tough case to make that anything else going on in the world -- anywhere -- could possibly be of equal importance.

But on July 29 and 30, and then again on August 1, something else happened that increasing numbers of people believe is of equal importance. On these dates C-SPAN rebroadcast a panel discussion, held originally in late June, sponsored by an organization called the American Scholars' Symposium to discuss what really happened on September 11, 2001. Held in Los Angeles, the meeting lasted two days, and the C-SPAN rebroadcast covered one almost two-hour wrap-up session. The meeting was attended by 1,200 people interested in hearing something other than the official story of 9/11. The TV audience was evidently large enough to spur C-SPAN to broadcast the panel discussion five separate times in four days.

 

Buzzflash at the 9/11 Truth Brink?


If You Can't See That They Are Traitors In The White House, Then You Are Risking Your Own Lives And The Lives Of Your Families.

A Buzzflash Editorial
August 13, 2006

Edgy new barnburning editorial from the normally 9/11 truth-leary Buzzflash.com folks. As the scale and pattern of administration deception continue to penetrate public consciousness, we believe the linchpin lies of 9/11 will finally become too blatant to ignore. - Ed.
As BuzzFlash has repeatedly editorialized, the Bush Administration is a detriment to America's national security. Our lives are increasingly at risk every day that they are in office.

They will never seriously battle the sources of terrorism in an effective, strategic fashion. That is because politically they need the terrorists as much as the terrorists need them. And the goals of the Bush Administration are the consolidation of power and the acquisition of natural resources and economic dominance, not the eradication of terror.

 

Lou Dobbs Awakens to 9/11 Lies


Here's a curious little one-eyed awakening from a prominent star in the corporate media universe. Will be interesting to see if Dobbs follows through with any of this. Anyone want to send him a copy of Griffin's "The 9/11 Commission Report - Omissions and Distortions" for starters? - Ed.

CNN has now posted the transcript of that segment. Click 'read more.'  

CNN: Why is the Pentagon Lying to US?


Another faint sign of life from the mainstream media. CNN's Jack Cafferty reports on Pentagon deception and reads some interesting viewer responses. - Ed.

FOX Furiously Ridiculing 9/11 - US Government Conspiracy Theories


Reported by Chrish
News Hounds
"We watch FOX so you don't have to."
August 7, 2006 - 48 comments

Sometimes it really does help to have the right enemies. FOX fulminations have even turned the head of this moderately liberal media watchdog blog. - Ed.
Ever since Scripps Howard released poll findings last week that 36% of Americans believe it is at least somewhat likely that the federal government was involved in or took no action to prevent the attacks of September 11th, FOX news talking heads have been ridiculing and dismissing the possibility. On the other hand, they have yet to cause such a kerfuffle over the equally remarkable poll finding that the number of Americans who believe WMDs were found in Iraq has risen to 50%. We don't need to ask why the double standard.

John Gibson jumped on it right away. His August 3 "My Word" rant dismissed alternative theories as garbage and attributed them to (what else?) hatred of Bush. He's a one-trick pony, John is - if you disagree, or question, or suspect the administration, it's all because of your emotional reactions to Bush.

 

ABC News: "9/ 11 Conspiracy Theorists Thriving"


5 Years Later, Sept. 11 Conspiracy Theorists Say They're Gaining Momentum

By Justin Pope

August 6, 2006

Associated Press offers a decent beefy run on progress in the movement focusing on recent contributions by Scholars for 9/11 Truth. A few hours later Google News lists over 100 news outlets running the story. While we deeply wish such coverage concentrated more on the issues, in terms of visibility at least we are indeed grateful that editors are finally awakening to public interest in our story and that a major corner has been turned. - Ed.
- Kevin Barrett believes the U.S government might have destroyed the World Trade Center. Steven Jones is researching what he calls evidence that the twin towers were brought down by explosives detonated inside them, not by hijacked airliners.

These men aren't uneducated junk scientists: Barrett will teach a class on Islam at the University of Wisconsin this fall, over the protests of more than 60 state legislators. Jones is a tenured physicist at Brigham Young University whose mainstream academic job has made him a hero to conspiracy theorists.

 

Declaring "Independence from Reality"


50% Still Think Saddam had WMD

By Charles J. Hanley, AP
Chicago Sun Times
August 7, 2006

And you thought the 50% of Americans who never heard of WTC 7 was depressing. Welcome to yet another view of the-more-you-watch-the-less-you-know generation at work. - Ed.
Do you believe in Iraqi "WMD"?

Did Saddam Hussein's government have weapons of mass destruction in 2003?

Half of America apparently still thinks so, a new poll finds, and experts see a raft of reasons why: a drumbeat of voices from talk radio to the Oval Office, a surprise headline here or there, a rallying around a partisan flag.

People tend to become "independent of reality" in these circumstances, said opinion analyst Steven Kull.

 

Curiouser and Curiouser: NORAD Incompetence Theory Deja Vu

Yes, this 'NORAD lied!' story has been all over the news for the last 24 hours, and no, we still don't know what to make of it all. Most of the NORAD lies referred to were either loudly cited by Sen. Dayton in a congressional hearing over two years ago or reported to Congress in May of last year. So why the fuss now? One superficial trigger seems to be the Vanity Fair piece (linked below) with embedded sound recordings of NORAD internal communications on 9/11 morning that were inexplicably awarded to Michael Bronner, the article's author and associate producer of "United 93." It will take a little research time to parse all the logical feints and contradictions it contains, not to mention the tech wizardry that reportedly packed 30 hours of uncompressed sound files into three ordinary CDs. For now we simply invite you to scan these stories with your own BS detecter and devote some critical thought to the enormous role the 9/11 Commission- ignored aerial war games seemed to play that day.

New Tapes Disclose Confusion Within the Military on Sept. 11

By Philip Shenon
New York Times
August 2, 2006

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2 -- Newly disclosed tapes offer evidence of the widespread confusion within the military as the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks were being carried out, further undermining claims by the Pentagon that it moved quickly to try to intercept and shoot down one or more of the hijacked jets.

When matched with the timeline of the attacks, the tapes make clear that information about the hijackings was slow to reach the military on Sept. 11 and that much of the information that did reach Air Force commanders was faulty. [[ Click "Read More" below for rest of lame riff...]]

New Poll: A Third of U.S. Public Believes 9/11 Conspiracy Theory

Like the 2004 Zogby 9/11 poll, this Scripps Howard survey directly questioned people about their belief in official US complicity, added the Mideast war as a likely motive, and found 36% in agreement. One has to suppress a bitter smile at their finding that agreement was lowest among those who read the mainstream press, but the truly encouraging aspect of this poll was its news that so much of this awakening had occurred quite recently. It also covers WTC demolition and national anger at government. All in all a fascinating read.
– Ed.

by Thomas Hargrove, Scripps Howard News Service

Wednesday, August 2, 2006

More than a third of the American public suspects that federal officials assisted in the 9/11 terrorist attacks or took no action to stop them so the United States could go to war in the Middle East, according to a new Scripps Howard/Ohio University poll.

The national survey of 1,010 adults also found that anger against the federal government is at record levels, with 54 percent saying they "personally are more angry" at the government than they used to be.

Widespread resentment and alienation toward the national government appears to be fueling a growing acceptance of conspiracy theories about the 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.

 

NY Times Features Barrett's 9/11 Free Speech Fight

The 9/11 skeptic-slamming Gray Lady of establishment journalism finally offers some cautious coverage of Kevin Barrett's 9/11 free speech battle in Wisconsin. Yes, they bounce blithely past Barrett's evidentiary case for US gov complicity and feebly try to associate him with Ward Churchill (to alienate 9/11 families?) and a Holocaust denier (to turn off everyone else?), but on the whole it's another useful little breakthrough moment exposing the inconvenient endurance of 9/11 truth.

A Skeptic on 9/11 Prompts Questions on Academic Freedom

By Gretchen Ruethling
The New York Times
August 1, 2006

MADISON, Wis., July 26 ? Sipping on a bottle of water and holding a book about the history and future of Islam, Kevin Barrett ticked off a few examples of what he saw as evidence that the Sept. 11 attacks had been an "inside job."

As children zoomed by on tricycles and shot basketballs at a community center near his home, Mr. Barrett, 47, described how some news orgainzations (the French daily newspaper Figaro and Radio France International, in fact) had reported that an agent from the Central Intelligence Agency visited with Osama bin Laden two months before the attacks. He also said fires could not have caused the collapse of the World Trade Center towers at free-fall speed, as reported by the special Sept. 11 commission. "The 9/11 report will be universally reviled as a sham and a cover-up very soon," said Mr. Barrett, who has been a teacher's assistant or lecturer on Islam, African literature and other subjects at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, since 1996. "The 9/11 commission has its conspiracy theory, and we have ours."
